Experiment in Mako
Chapter One
She was locked in a mako test tube all of her 18 years of life. Only allowed out of herprison a few times a week, to eat, and have bizarre things done to her.
Anyone who was allowed to explore the Shinra Lab thought nothing of her, just that she was one of Professor Hojo's experiments.
That was correct, although that wasn't all that she was....The young woman encased in mako was also his daughter, Gemma.
No one knew about that secret, not even she. It was a secret that no one was supposed to know, or find out about.
It was the middle of the night when Gem woke up, hearing a sound in the lab.
Someone was placing a strange fire-beast in a cell that was across the room.
She could see everything around her perfectly, as if it were day, thanks to her eerie mako-blue eyes.
Gem felt sorry for the creature, but since she could do nothing anyway,she tried to forget about it and fell back asleep.
When she woke up next it was time when she was allowed to come out of the test tube for a few precious minutes of freedom.
She was able to walk over to the cell that the fire-creature was in.
Gem knelt down next to it's prison, tucking the thin white skirt she had on under her knees as she sat at eye-level with whatever the red thing was.
The cage had a metal sign on it, engraved with "Red XIII".
*So it already has been renamed by Hojo...*
The creature, Red XIII, opened it's one yellow eye to look at Gem.
The other eye was permanantly shut, the scar that was there was the only clue to what had happned to it.
"What are you doing here, if I may ask?"
Gem backed up a bit, startled. He-she figured it was a he because of the sound of is voice-had talked to her! She would've answered him, but sadly, her ability to talk to others was long gone.
She simply shrugged.
"What about your name?" Red XIII sat up in his cage to look at her.
Long black hair, simple white sleeveless shirt, white skirt, and...Mako blue eyes.
"G...Gem...ma.." She struggled with trying to say her name. It wasn't what people called her, but she somehow knew that that was her name.
Red XIII nodded his head in sympathy.
*~She's been in Mako for a long time..~* He thought to himself.
Gem made a motion with her hands, trying to ask him what his name was. He figured it out without much effort.
"They call me Red XIII. Call me what you wish, though. I don't mind."
Gemma shook her head.
*No, that's not your name. I want to know your name...* She motioned again.
"My real name? It is...." He stopped talking when someone approached them both. A man in a Shinra lab coat roughly lifted Gem up by her arms.
Red XIII watched as he forced her back into a mako test tube. He'd have to wait until another time to answer her question.
